Argonne National Laboratory outside Chicago is the first science and engineering research national laboratory in the United States, receiving this designation on July 1, 1946. It is the largest national laboratory by size and scope in the Midwest. A multipurpose laboratory led since 2009 by director Eric Isaacs, Argonne maintains a broad portfolio in basic science research, energy storage and renewable energy, environmental sustainability, and national security. It is managed for the United States Department of Energy by UChicago Argonne, LLC, which is composed of the University of Chicago and Jacobs Engineering Group Inc.[3] Argonne is a part of the expanding Illinois Technology and Research Corridor.
The laboratory is located on 1,700 acres (6.9 km2) in DuPage County, 25 miles (40 km) southwest of Chicago, Illinois, on Interstate 55, completely encircled by Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve. When it was first established it was known as the University of Chicago's Metallurgical Laboratory (Met Lab), and it was previously located within Red Gate Woods. Early in its history, the laboratory was part of the Manhattan Project, which built the first atomic bomb.
Argonne National Laboratory had a smaller facility called Argonne National Laboratory-West (or simply Argonne-West) in Idaho next to the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory. In 2005, the two Idaho-based laboratories merged to become the Idaho National Laboratory.

Since 2nd world war, this place sheltered German and later French classical submarines as well as their construction. Thousands of people worked or lived there as soldiers or workers. I was one of them during summer time and still get in mind the very strange atmosphere of the submarine totally nuded of all the stuff inside for its regular maintenance, laying in the waterless dock above my head lighted by neons in the dust night. Today, this place is becoming a sea sail racing base and the Tabarly Academy will open doors soon.
Goodbye the iron shark.

This road must have been constructed after we turned the base over to the German authorities, or so I'm guessing, as it leads right into the old 496th AMU/TFS flighline.

BASE AÉREA DE MORÓN (LEMO) SPAIN / BOEING B52H STRATOFORTRESS / BOMBER TASK FORCE DEPLOYMENT
-A B-52H Stratofortress from Barksdale Air Force Base, LA, lands at Moron Air Base, Spain, May 17, 2021. The B-52 is a long-range, heavy bomber that is capable of flying at high subsonic speeds of altitudes of up to 50,000 feet and provides the United States with a global strike capability.
A Bomber Task Force deployment of U.S. Air Force B-52H Stratofortress aircraft, Airmen and support equipment from the 2nd Bomb Wing, Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, arrived in the U.S. European Command area of responsibility to train with U.S. allies and partners on May 17, 2021.
The mission highlights the U.S. military’s ability to conduct integration training with partners and allies. This deployment of strategic bombers to Moron Air Base, Spain, helps exercise U.S. Air Forces in Europe’s capability to operate bombers out of a variety of forward operating locations.
The deployment is scheduled to include joint and allied training in the U.S. European Command theater and U.S. Africa Command theater to improve bomber interoperability.
Training with joint partners, allied nations and other units enables us to build enduring and strategic relationships necessary to confront a broad range of global challenges.
Bomber Task Force missions demonstrate the U.S.’ commitment to the collective defense of NATO and contribute to stability in the European theater. Our ability to quickly respond and assure allies and partners rests upon the fact that we are here, in Europe, forward and ready.
Dordogne is a wonderful area for car spotting. Even in 2017, you can easily shoot forgotten French cars and vans from the eighties : Peugeot 305, 309, 504 Pick-up and J9, Renault 14, 9 and 11, Citroën GSA, Visa, BX, C15 and C35. It's like a living museum.
Switzerland is one of the few places where base Jumping is still legal. Apparently it takes 15 seconds from jump to land - and still they take the leap into cloud. The first you know of them is the rustling overhead as the shoot opens - better than a splat in front of you i guess. An adrenalin rush that's just one step to far if you ask me!
A rice flour based roti/bread made with grated coconut, finely crushed shallots and cumin(jeera) and mostly rolled and cooked over the tawa/pan with bare hands that renders it a slighlty crisp texture outside and softness inside. That it is done with hands gives it the name "Kaipathiri" , 'Kai' in malayalam being 'hand' and "Pathiri" being a flat rice based bread. There are several varieties of these.
We ate this with stir-fried mussels .

The base of the controller. It has a USB jack for charging / pairing, and a smaller (also USB, I think) jack marked as "EXT".
Finally, it has two charging pins either side of the jacks for when it's placed in the docking station.
To start the painting I am going for a nice dark base tone. Humbrol 155 with black 33 has been used to give me this colour which I took extra time to coat the whole model with.

My Blacktron Base, built March 2010 - My biggest moc since i came out from my dark ages - It started as a small outpost, but grew and grew, so that i had to stop the build because i run out of parts - If i ever manage to visit a convention i have to transfer it on a standart baseplate - I also tried to build some playable features and came out with a foldable entrance stairway, a Tower with a roof that can be opened and a foldable Ladder, the big canopie can be removed and there are several balconies to mount the weapons -
Members of the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson Honorary Commanders Program tour JBER, Alaska, Nov. 20, 2018. The purpose of the program is to increase public awareness and understanding of the missions, policies, programs and the people of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. The program brings together community leaders from Anchorage, Eagle River and the Matanuska-Susitna valleys - who have close ties to the community and are aware of its concerns - and partners them with a military officer in command of a unit on JBER.

McKinley visited JBER as part of an immersion into the 3rd Wing and 673d Air Base Wing as well as mission familiarization for the Combined Headquarters, Alaskan Command and the 11th Air Force mission. McKinley served as the 15th CMSAF from June 2006 through June 2009. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Emily Farnsworth)

Abstract: This report is an evaluation of the operational and biological phases of the Skowl Arm DDT pilot project. The study proved the operational feasibility of spraying the forests of southeast Alaska from a floating base using both the amphibious PBY plane and a helicopter. The spray coverage obtained with the helicopter was superior to that of the PBY.

The following is an excerpt from the 1963 Report on Game Studies, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Game Division, Juneau, Alaska:
"OBJECTIVES
To determine the influence of 1/4 pound DDT (dichloro-diphenyl-trichloro-ethane) per acre as used in aerial sprays to control black-headed budworm (Acleris variana) on birds
and mammals in Southeast Alaska.
TECHNIQUES
In June 1963, the U. S. Forest Service, Region 10, con-ducted a pilot project to determine the effectiveness of a 1/4 pound DDT per acre spray application for controlling black-headed budworm populations. Spraying was done on June 21 from a PBY aircraft flying approximately 500 feet above the ground. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game were invited to initiate studies to determine the effects of this spraying on fish and wildlife populations. The spray site was in the vicinity of Skowl Arm on the east side of Prince of Wales Island, Southeast Alaska, about 35 miles northwest of Ketchikan.
Three drainages were sprayed however, all bird and mammal investigations were confined to Cabin Creek drainage. Neither funds nor time allowed for extensive investigations of all species which might be influenced. Therefore, efforts were concentrated on the Sitka black-tailed deer, the most abundant big game species in Southeast Alaska, which is usually present in forests where subsequent spray programs may be undertaken."
